A former ACE student also told The Herald that the belief of the
Loch Ness monster is based on a theory of history going back to
biblical story of Noah and the flood, "if Noah's flood
only happened 4000 years ago, which they believe literally
happened, then possibly a sea monster survived."

The lesson about the Loch Ness monster comes in the form of the
textbook Biology 1099, which Britain's Times Educational
Supplement managed to
find an excerpt from:

Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced
of their existence.

Have you heard of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ in Scotland? ‘Nessie,’
for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine,
described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie
appears to be a plesiosaur.

Could a fish have developed into a dinosaur? As astonishing as it
may seem, many evolutionists theorize that fish evolved into
amphibians and amphibians into reptiles. This gradual change from
fish to reptiles has no scientific basis. No transitional fossils
have been or ever will be discovered because God created each
type of fish, amphibian, and reptile as separate, unique animals.
Any similarities that exist among them are due to the fact that
one Master Craftsmen fashioned them all.

Many people are outraged that an education system based on the
bible is being funded by the state government.

The Herald, however, found a bright side as "the
Scottish tourist industry might well reap a dividend from the
craziness of the American education system."

The [Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be
a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the
symbol of the cross ... In some communities it achieved a certain
respectability as it worked with politicians.
